    Lamb Sliders- what's left before I remembered to take a photo! Soooo good!!
    Kayla A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, ambience and food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lamb sliders were AMAZING! Bison Burger was different but still savory. Tomato Soup and Wings were very tasty too. Definitely a good spot to try when in the area!

    Amish Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
    Vanessa H.

    Mom/Son belated Mother's Day date at the Columbus Museum of Art, then lunch following at Arch City. First time here. We started with the Lobster Mac & Cheese Shareable. To die for! My son got the Market Burger with Truffle Fries. I got the Amish Chicken Sandwich. But the name is deceiving. It's basically a Caprese Chicken Sandwich ("Amish"- cuz it's where the chicken's family is from)- SO DELICIOUS! And a side of the Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ goat cheese & cranberries! Meghan was an excellent server with a smiling personality! We will definitely be back! And soon!

    Pulled Pork Breakfast Skillet- has potatoes, big slices of onions, big slices of peppers.

    It was good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar has a dark kind of vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], we got brunch on Saturday- got the pulled pork breakfast skillet without avocado and chives. Me and my friend ordered very similar- service was good, prices were good. It was a nice place to try while we were in the area!

    Nashville Fried chicken Sandwich

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Arch City is a Short North staple! It has such an inviting atmosphere and it's perfect for every occasion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whenever someone from out of town visits, this is one of the stops you need to take them to! The service is awesome and they have great weekday specials! Arch City has some of the best shareables and starters around, with the classic Brussels sprouts or French onion soup, to their southwestern spring rolls or specials like their Irish nachos! Their sliders and burgers are always phenomenal and all of their sandwiches will leave you happy and full! Go on and stop by!

    Perfect spot for beer and food
    Jennifer V.

    Kate was amazing! Her recos were spot on (lamb sliders and Amish chicken sandwich with loaded brussel sprouts). She kept the delicious beers coming, she checked in just the right amount of time so we didn't feel rushed but felt cared for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a prime spot so we appreciated how we were serviced.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ask for Kate, listen to her recos and enjoy!

    Bison Burger with truffle fries, Lobster Mac & Cheese and Brussels Sprouts
    Rose B.

    I'm from Indianapolis, and my boyfriend found this spot because he was craving lobster mac n' cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We dined here for Valentine's Day, we loved the atmosphere and thought the decorations were adorable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For such a relaxed vibe, the food was top notch. Even though the food was great, it wouldn't have been a five star review without our server. Dana is legitimately the best server I've ever had in my life. Tentative without being annoying, knowledgeable without trying too hard to sell, and just all around so kind and vibrant. She is the best!

    Salmon Sandwich
    Dajawon Y.

    I stopped by Arch City Tavern and the service was great quick, attentive, and friendly, which really stood out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was early so there weren't a lot of people inside which helped cause I was on a lunch break but nice inside and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. I ordered the salmon sandwich and a Caesar salad. The salad was okay; they put a generous amount of dressing, which I actually liked, but the croutons were burnt, so it threw off the overall flavor. The salmon sandwich was the biggest disappointment it had barely any aioli, wasn't seasoned at all, and ended up tasting like nothing. It looked great, but the flavor just didn't match the presentation. Overall, I'd come back for the service, but I'd probably try something else on the menu next time.

    Reuben rolls
    Nadeane H.

    The food is meh Here. I had the Reuben egg rolls. They were flavorless and barely had any filling. But they were fried well - crispy. The wings are very spicy. The Caesar salad was good. The service was not attentive. Our waitress kept disappearing and we waited for drink refills and to bring our check. The ambiance is typical bar - kinda dark. But they do have windows that completely open to the outside sidewalk.

    Meatballs
    Jasmine T.

    Great ambience here! Everyone seemes relaxed, as if they come here often. I came during happy hour and got a cocktail and some meatballs. The drink was good but the meatballs were just okay, they could've used some more salt. I also took the Nashville chicken sandwich to go and it was just okay well, it had no particular flavor but the portion was huge. It had a really thick chicken breast and the fries were good.

    Reuben Egg Rolls

    I went here for Burger Monday and the March madness finals($10 Gourmet Burgers). My friend and I shared reuben egg rolls which were fresh, crispy and came with a sweet sauce on the side. The Burger I got was the, Fat Goat Burger. Usually I like to put some sort of condiment on my burgers but I felt like it wasn't needed with this. It's a thicker burger and I thought getting it medium was a good cook. Since I got the reuben egg roll sharable, I opted for the side salad. The side salad was an extra up charge, but I thought it was worth it. The fries are always reliable so you can't go wrong with those. This is one of my go to Burger places in Columbus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want an elevated bar with a great atmosphere, good food and a premium beer selection this is your spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service as well, it was very fast and they were all super nice.

    Awesome spot! In town for a home show. Burger looked amazing. Tasted even better. Nice kick in the sauce. Savory and touch of spice! Those truffle fries wow! Highly recommended!

    Margarita pizza
    Melanie S.

    we stopped here for dinner before the cocktail contest downtown. Service was friendly and they had some solid Happy Hour specials. I had one of the $9 HH pizzas, and it was a great size for the price, as well as tasting great! It was still warm enough to have the doors rolled up, and the indoor outdoor vibe was nice. Some bar TVs on, and I'm sure the drinks are solid!

It was the perfect spot for a relaxed, drawn-out dinner where we could enjoy drinks, take our time, and really soak it all in. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which set the tone for the night. Everyone ordered cocktails (I've heard the espresso martini is one of their best, even though coffee isn't really my thing), and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the drink menu. We started with the Meze, which included house-made falafel, tzatziki, hummus, sun-dried tomato couscous, assorted vegetables, and naan--everything was fresh and so flavorful. They also brought out complimentary focaccia right away, which was such a nice touch. For my main, I ordered the seasonal scallops, and I also tried the chicken thighs with fig, goat cheese, asparagus, parmigiano reggiano, and couscous--both were absolutely amazing. I'd go back in a heartbeat just to try more of the menu. We were there for about 2-3 hours, and at no point did we feel rushed or like we were inconveniencing the staff. The entire experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and just really special. Highly recommend The Sycamore for your next date night or girls' dinner!

We ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share and some stand outs were the scallop appetizer, Jamin appetizer, and the Caesar salad (one of the best Caesars in Columbus)! Food was a bit pricey for what it is but standard for the ambience and location and a fantastic time with friends.

We both got the fried chicken BLT, the spoon bread and mac & cheese. The spoon bread is simple corn bread, but it was really good. The mac & cheese was homemade and delicious. The sandwiches were outstanding and huge. My daughter and I could have split one between us. Instead, we brought two halves home. Not sure what this place used to be. High ceilings with barn beams and an old style post office mail box layout, like you might see in an old hotel. Regardless, would not hesitate to come back.

    Love this place!…read more Came in here last weekend and sat outside for a warm spring evening. We did make a reservation somewhat last second, but were easily able to get an outdoor table. We actually got to the restaurant a little bit early and they ended up seating us outside, which was perfect. For food, I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries and mac & cheese. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly. Overall great time here and can't wait to come back. Love going to this place in Cincinnati as well, so I was very happy when they opened one up in Columbus.

I also like how you can get a smaller glass of beer for a cheaper price, if you're like me and have trouble finishing a whole drink! I like how they specify on the menu if dishes can be made vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free, and even if they use shared fryers. The crispy fried eggplant was super flavorful and had a crunchy layer of rice to accompany it. It had a slight Szechuan spicy and sweet sauce. I liked how the lasagna was served with wonton chips, which made it less heavy and yet had such a nice crunch. The smoked ribeye was impressive with slow cooked beef and lots of onions. It came with Cajun fries and the fries were good! If you're into sandwiches, the Nashville hot and cod sandwiches were also solid. Service was quick and efficient. My friend ordered the small beer and there was some confusion with the waiter billing it as a tall glass, but we managed to figure it out in the end. Just remember that they do add a service charge if you don't use debit or cash!
